Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C 1622(d))
provides for the automatic termination of a national emergency unless,
prior to the anniversary date of its declaration, the President
publishes in the Federal Register and transmits to the Congress a notice
stating that the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the
anniversary date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent the
enclosed notice to the Federal Register for publication, stating that
the Iran emergency declared in Executive Order 12170 on November 14,
1979, is to continue in effect beyond November 14, 2006.

Our relations with Iran have not yet returned to normal, and the
process of implementing the January 19, 1981, agreements with Iran is
still underway. For these reasons, I have determined that it is
necessary to continue for 1 year the national emergency declared on
November 14, 1979, with respect to Iran.
